until it's election day and everyone knows, everyone is shocked. everyone that is, except those voters who were seething. long forgotten by the pundits. never ever saw it coming. >> eric: hello, everybody. i'm eric bolling with andrea tantaros, bob beckel, dana perino and greg gutfeld. it's 5:00 in new york city. this is "the five." ♪ ♪ >> eric: president obama's libyan story is collapsing and fox news is learning that the attack that killed the ambassador and three others was launched prior to any protest at the libyan consulate last week. this directly conflicts of the obama administration account of the attack. fox news foreign correspondent leland vittert has details of the breaking news. >> reporter: this goes to the timeline of exactly how

this attack at the libyan consulate went down. was it simply a spontaneous protest over this movie about the prophet muhammad that spiraled out of control? or was this a preplanned, premeditated attack by an al-qaeda cell or al-qaeda affiliate group on the conflict designed to kill americans? what we have learned is at 9: 35:00 p.m. local time on september 11, there were no protests outside the u.s. consulate in benghazi. and then the attack began. and because of the precision of attack, the direct fire, the indirect fire in the preplanning that could have taken place for that, it's very possible that there was some either inside help, or some type of surveillance that had gone on at the compound. in fact, the libyan president over the weekend said he felt there was preplanning. and premeditation in to this, especially considering not only did these militants attack the compound, they also then attacked a safe house

nearby. that the u.s. consulate officials could have gone to for help. the protests around the middle east continue. in pakistan, we saw violence today. in fact, the embassy in islamabad tetch rarely suspended the operation ahead of the protest because they knew it would become violent. tear gas flying. pakistani police brought out the big water cannons to push protesters back from climbing in to the u.s. embassy compound. in lebanon, the leader of the hezbollah militant group took to the streets in a rare public appearance to call for continueed protest. his militant chanted back, "death to america." here in egypt where the protests began last tuesday on september 11, i had a chance to sit down with one of the organizers of those protests today. he told me, in fact, eric, when it comes to the movie, he hadn't even seen it. so you have to wonder where

exactly all the protesters beginnings and why? back to you. >> eric: thank you, leland vittert. set the stage. on one hand you have the obama administration blaming a 3-month-old youtube video for the deadly violence spreading throughout the muslim world. on the other hand, we have terrorist expert, war veterans, libyan officials and officials saying they were preplanned, september 11 retaliation aimed at the american people. listen to ambassador susan rice blame the movie. >> the best information and the best sense we have today in fact this was not a preplanned, premeditated attack. that what happened initially was that it was spontaneous reaction to what had just transpired in cairo, as consequence of the video. don't see at this point signs this was a coordinated plan, premeditated attack. >> eric: okay. now listen to libyan leader mohammed el-megarif contradict the administration. >> the way the perpetrators

acted and moved, i think we are under their choosing a specific date for this so-called demonstration. i think we have no -- this leighs with us no doubt that this was preplanned, predetermined. >> eric: all right. who do you believe? d.c. bureaucrat or the interim president of libya? greg, kick it off. >> greg: this is as spontaneous as a moon landing. how can you say it's a coincidence? like saying you went to a strip club and it was a coincidence you had a lap dance. it happened on 9/11. that is not a coon dense. where does president obama find these people? susan rice, jay carney, did he get them off craigslist? try a temp agency like manpower. they're really good. america deserves better than these hacks.

this is like the keystone cops or a special episode of "facts of life." >> dana: but, greg, it comes from the top. they are saying what they were carefully planned to say, which is that if you blame a video, after on thursday, president obama says the terrorist attack. saturday morning the state department said, the right thing to do, we're not commenting on this anymore. by sunday morning we are brushing this under the rug saying it's based on a video. >> greg: i haven't seen this many abouttures since open mic night at comedy cellar. >> eric: ambassador rice hit all five sunday talk shows an had the same narrative. we knew nothing. it was all about the movie. >> bob: look, it's clear, couple things are clear about why this was, in fact, planne planned. they got hold of the ambassador, "they," the perpetrators, got to a safe house of the confine of the consul. this is the plan for the place to escape. somebody gave them information

where it was. it may have been somebody inside the consulate, on the staff. may have been muslim. i don't know. but to suggest that that was somehow or another, this broke off from a demonstration doesn't make sense. however, after saying that, having said, that i have no doubt that this film added to the spread of demonstrations, to the rest at least, so far we have seen no other murder besides this one. >> eric: stay on that for a second. is it right for the obama administration, from the top down like dana points out, from the president, jay carney, secretary of state, ambassador to the u.n. have this narrative it was all the movie? meanwhile, we have more and more people, including the libyan leaders telling us it had nothing to do with the movie? it was preplanned retaliation. >> andrea: excuse for muslims to attack. now an excuse for the administration. i think it's two-fold. i think hillary clinton, gets the fact when you have an ambassador murdered it's a national humiliation. i think president obama is too obtuse to figure that out.

i think a successful attack before an election is terrible thing to happen to the administration. that is why you see the state department officials coming out. they keep blaming this on the video. here is what is so troubling to me. on the ground, al-qaeda in libya had better intelligence than we did. it's embarrassing. it's embarrassing to the administration we didn't have better intelligence. think about it. 400 people, rpgs, they knew that the ambassador was no longer in tripoli. then they knew he was at the consulate. then they knew he was moved from the consulate. they had all that intel and we did not. we failed. so it's an embarrassment. >> bob: what does obtuse mean? >> greg: when you ask it, you prove the point. here is the thing, who cares what caused what? it doesn't matter. it's terror no matter what. as an american, you root for america. the media roots for causes. that is the problem here. the act, itself, is terror. not how they got to the act.

who cares? >> eric: it does matter, though. it does matter. because for the administration to say well, there is nothing we could have done about it. we have didn't have intel on it. we have could haven't saved it. that was all in response to a flash mob. it eliminates them from responsibility. >> dana: i talk to the former agency guy. who said remember, dana, no knowledge if planned doesn't mean there wasn't planning. perhaps there is a hole in our intelligence. i don't want to make it partisan. i want to make it happen and how do we prevent it from happening. >> eric: hold the thought. respond to this, colonel allen west and john mccain took issue with rice's assessment. listen. >> i listen to the u.s. ambassador susan rice today, several words came to mind. asinine, nighyev, borderline ignorant. >> most people don't bring rocket-propelled grenades and weapons to a demonstration. that was an act of terror.

>> there you have a war hero -- actually, two war heroes there. >> bob: i am going to pass one of them and sort of suggest that some of those words i'd use with him. go back to the point about terror. it is absolutely no question in my mind this was a preplanned terrorist attack. it also is no question in my mind that the movie contributed to demonstrations throughout the muslim world. you can't say protests through indonesia are all terrorists. they are out there demonstrating. if someone did a movie about jesus christ, i'm demonstrate. >> greg: wait. they have, and you didn't. we go to "the last temptation of christ" and talk about bill maher movie and book of mormo mormon. we don't go out there and do it, muslims in america don't go out and do it. if we apologize to maniacs

over a film, i am moving to texas where they grow balls op trees. sorry. >> andrea: you insulted "facts of life." mrs. garrett had nothing to do with this. >> greg: you're right. i apologize. >> andrea: apologize to blare, tudy and mrs. garrett, please. >> eric: over the weekend, four american service people, men or women -- i believe they were men, were killed in afghanistan again. afghani people, terrorists coming in and shooting our people up. is it, is there a sense in the muslim world that we're pleasing -- >> andrea: yes. we are on the retreat. that is why islam is on the march. if you read benard lewis, this goes way back hundreds and ups of years to the days of thomas jefferson. if you read and study the quran, it will tell you this jihad will not stop. they are commandered radicals to perform jihad until one of two things happens. one, we are all muslims or all ruled by muslims.

they only preach tolerance when they are outnumbered, bob. this is not a shock. >> bob: i agree with that. remember we have been at war with two muslim countries for some time now. there is bound to be a recentment against that. >> dana: wait. was that true -- last week we talked about you were in iran in 1979. that was well before the two recent warrous're talking about. it was before the 9/11 attacks. so, andrea's point is a good one. stepping back, it wasn't about the last eight years. >> bob: i'm suggesting if we had not been there on the ground would they be shot? but we are. to obviously people will get killed. that is the sad part of the tragedy, but they are. >> eric: throw the full screen up. here is your choice. c'mon, producers, please. get it up. choice is yours. president obama or war hero and interim president of libya. coming up, president obama

spent time trying to make friends in the muslim world. >> my job is to communicate to the american people that the muslim world is filled with extraordinary people who simply want to live their lives. my job to the muslim world is to communicate that americans are not your enemy. >> eric: so how does the appeasement apology tour working out? dana is on deck. we'll be right back.

going to change it in two years? >> andrea: he thought he could give a speech in cairo of all places, and his speech alone would change their minds. i mean, again, this goes back so far and it's naive to think he can change it. it's naive to think the muslim brotherhood wouldn't doing what they are doing. there is a reason we have the strong leaders, mubarak, gaddafi in place. we needed strong leaders. >> greg: they were bad men. >> andrea: but they kept the worse forces down. now there is nobody to keep it down. >> bob: they were slaughtering -- >> dana: bob, on friday when they did the press briefing through the weekend, one thing they want to make clear, this is all about the video, this is not about the current administration. unfortunate incident rather than a terrorist attack. >> revisionist history to say the least.

period for tasteful etchings? this isn't about the acts of terror but a response for them. blaming the video for unrest is to blame the fort hood massacre on the workplace violence. moral cowardes s. refusal to reject the enemies. repeat after me. it's them, not us. which runs counter to teacher lounge logic that stains the white house. if it's our fault, why aren't the muslims riots in the u.s.? maybe because they don't orchestrate it. only the media thinks the response is carrier than the appeasement. this is not war for islam heart and mind but for the lungs and kidneys. we cannot forfeit our western principles to appease haters. the media, champions of free expression doing that. they track the filmmaker down and justify the anti-west outrage on heels of romanticizing the sister scam occupy wall street. why? because it's all they know. cultivated on the college campus.
